Technical education in kindergarten and primary school - creative preparation for adult life

Abstract

Today's school is intended to provide students with comprehensive development of their personality and prepare them for life in a dynamically changing reality. Curricula should keep up with these changes, which include the economic and socio-cultural spheres, as well as the development of scientific and technological civilization. The tool thanks to which the school can fulfil this task is undoubtedly technical education, introduced at the first stage of education, i.e. in kindergarten and in grades I-III of primary school, and then continued in later years. This article will allow you to understand how properly selected technical education curriculum content, especially in correlation with other school subjects, based not only on simple manufacturing work, but also on introducing the world of technology in general, can constitute the basis for creative and responsible preparation for adult life.
